Verse 1:
EbBbEb
The Devil came from Kansas
BbEb
Where he went to I can't say
AbEb
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
AbEb
And I aim to stay that way
BbEb
There's a monkey riding on my back
BbEb
Been there for some time
AbCm
He says he knows me very well
FmAbEb
But he's no friend of mine
Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/procol_harum/devil_came_from_kansas_crd_ver_2.html ]BbEb
I am not a humble pilgrim
AbAb7Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
GbAbBb
And don't beg for silver paper
FAbEb
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
BbEbAb (Eb)
/ } } / / } } /
Verse 2:
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know
[repeat chorus]
Guitar solo:
BbEbBbEb [3X]

Verse 3:
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
[repeat chorus]
Coda [guitar solo; repeat to fade]
BbEbBbEb
